Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.86/day in the week to Aug 23 → 8.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
As an enthusiast of puzzle, point-and-click, and detective games, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend Tangle Tower to anyone who enjoys a twisty, challenging murder mystery to solve. The game is essentially "click on everything and eventually things will unlock." There are "Suspicion" triggers in the game (story beats that help you get a bigger picture about a character's motivations) that happened without me even knowing why. There's no fail state to the game, so you really can just, well, like I said, click on everything until something unlocks. The more "subtle" clues that are somewhat hidden in some clues that make up your inventory are really quite obvious at times, and you can see the answer to an issue yourself for a long stretch of time, but cannot question it until the main characters are ready to ask about it. You have precious little impact on story progression outside of being stuck and stalling the whole thing. But it's really hard to get stuck. And the most unfortunate part is the climax of the tale, which is not only unfulfilling, but extremely frustrating. I will avoid spoilers, but the conclusion stands on an extremely flimsy premise that makes a bit of a 90-degree turn and creates numerous more questions rather than wrapping everything up nicely. "Oh, I guess I got the bad ending then," I told myself. But no, there are no multiple endings. There's just that one ending. The main positive this game has is the characterization and voice acting. Both the main detectives and the NPCs are tremendously well fleshed out and endearing, as you get to know them and their quirks. That's legitimately what kept me into it until the finish. Tangle Tower would have worked best as an animated feature, just sitting back and letting the delightful cast of oddballs guide us to the end of the tale. But as a game, I wish there was some kind of fail state that would keep the pressure up on making correct choices. I wish the mechanics didn't make the solutions blatantly obvious. Red herrings would have been nice (and there was potential for a couple). But it's the terrible ending that really seals the fate for this game. Despite its charm, it cannot outrun its issues.

[b]This game was primarily played on Steam Deck offline, so the hours played do not reflect the time displayed. I completed this game fully before writing this review, and got most of the achievements.[/b] [hr][/hr] This is maybe the most like, 5/10 game I've ever played in this genre. It would be a 7 or even an 8, but it really disappointed me in the end. Now, there's a lot I could praise here. The art is quite nice, the characters and setting are memorable, the voice acting is great, and the titular Tangle Tower has a lot of secrets to explore and uncover within its halls. This is a point-and-click murder mystery game, which comes with all the trappings of the genre you could expect. Collect evidence and testimony from the colorful cast, solve logic puzzles, inventory puzzles, all sorts of puzzles short of jigsaw puzzles really, and present evidence to corner liars and get the truth out of them. The characters in this game are somewhat interesting because while none of them are really all that engaging in a void, they all have relationships with each other, and they're all hiding [i]something[/i] for you to squeeze out of them. The actual mystery, at least most of it, is also fairly well done. There's lots of moving parts to the murder, and lots of small pieces of the puzzle that you'll have to slot together into a full picture of the crime. I probably wouldn't really have many complaints about this game at all, but all of this is in service of a conclusion to the mystery that is deeply unsatisfying and impossible to really figure out on your own because of how random of a plot twist it is. You solve the mystery in the sense that you uncover the meat of the crime and how it happened, but you're barely given a chance to digest or think about it because the culprit then randomly reveals themselves which is already bad enough, but there's another fairly stupid plot twist on top of that too that only barely makes sense and is completely unnecessary. You would never be able to guess any part of the actual solution regarding the antagonist, and much of your time spent doing so until the very end of the game is wasted. I'm not entirely against this kind of thing - [i]Disco Elysium[/i] also has a culprit you can't reasonably uncover on your own - but that game isn't explicitly a whodunnit murder mystery and has much more going on. This game actually is a murder mystery, that's the entire point - but it sucks at it. I won't pretend that the likes of [i]Ace Attorney[/i] or similar are always smash hits - the culprits are usually pretty obvious save for the final cases - but at least an obvious culprit gives you an end point to work backwards from. In this case, you're working towards a solution that feels abrupt and awkward. Again, there's a lot to like here. The art's great, puzzles are cool, characters and voices stand out as a high point, but if you're in this for a mystery experience like I was, I don't think you'll be very happy by the end. Hopefully the newly-released sequel is better in this regard.
One of the most fluid detective murder mystery games I've ever played that is animated so well you can use emotive clues to really get a feel for whoever you're talking to. The puzzles are refreshing, and each mystery is solved in game at approximately the pace discovered. Voice acting is superb and every character is refreshingly unique and endearing. This 10/10 game is brought down a few notches by an uncharacteristically abrupt and shallow ending that leaves one going 'huh.' The interesting 'how' is answered, but the 'why' is extremely lacking. Even if you handwave away the obvious inconsistency. The ending isn't even bad it's just... unsatisfying in a way that leaves you feeling like you want so much more from the game BECAUSE of how well crafted a world the game exists in. Well worth playing though, it's cute and cozy and the journey more than makes up for the destination.
...es complejo.. te lo recomiendo si eres de los , aprecian mucho el arte ,los personajes, y el viaje, pero el final es ,malo? abrupto y no se te contara nada despues de resolver el caso como fueron las vidas de los secundarios ,nada , pero repito la experiencia fue entretenida y si lo consigues en descuento ,el final no se te hace tan amargo...
It is a charming game, with a feeling that it was made with love. While I enjoy the overall experience, there are good points and not so ok points of this game. [b]Good[/b] - Charming artstyle - Good sound design - Simple and low stake gameplay, which suit my taste, my not suit others. - Lively voice acting and character animations. - Interesting world settings and environment design. [b]Not ok[/b] - Ending feels confusing and a little disapointing with how they explain the motive of the culprit (which is not really strong or clear) - It's more of an interactive exprerience than a detective game, there is little decision making involved (which is ok for me, but may be not for others). Overall I still enjoy the experience, got it on sale and love the style of this game.
So i think the dialogue was great... just kind of fell apart at the end.. The villians motive was... confusing. Really confusing. Great music. Kind of rambling ending.
Ah, what a joy to come back to. I played this game on the switch when it came out and was super excited to play the sequel The Mermaid Mask so I bought the bundle. I'm amazed with how much they managed to improve on the formula given how much fun this one is!
This jit cracks birds
awesome
꽤 재밌고 몰입감이 있습니다. 증거수집 및 탐문은 좀 더 UI가 완성도 있는 역전재판 느낌도 좀 있고 근데 읽어야할 텍스트가 좀 많아요
